On June 1, Edmonton will host its ninth annual Al-Quds Day rally.

The International Day of Al-Quds is an annual event, supporting a just peace for Palestine, and opposing apartheid Israel’s control of Jerusalem (Al-Quds in Arabic: القـُدْس), the international city that stands as a powerful symbol to three of the world’s great religious traditions.

Al-Quds Day is commemorated all over the planet and we are doing our part in Edmonton. We will honor the Palestinian resistance for justice. With the current series of injustice, we cannot afford to remain silent. Remember, you don’t need to be Palestinian to care, you simply have to be human.

Organized by Mobilization for Justice.

On June 9, 2018, Edmonton will host its eighth annual Al-Quds Day rally.

The International Day of Al-Quds is an annual event, supporting a just peace for Palestine, and opposing apartheid Israel’s control of Jerusalem (Al-Quds in Arabic: القـُدْس), the international city that stands as a powerful symbol to three of the world’s great religious traditions. It is held each year around the last Friday of the Muslim month of Ramadan.

Al-Quds Day is commemorated all over the planet and we are doing our part in Edmonton. We will honour the Palestinian fight for justice. With the latest round of bloodshed and injustice, we cannot afford to remain silent.

Remember, you don’t need to be Palestinian to care, you simply have to be human.

Join us this Sunday as we stand in solidarity with Palestine in protest against US President Donald Trump’s unilateral and illegal recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the decision to relocate the US embassy from Tel Aviv. We call for solidarity with the Palestinian people, and demand that the Canadian government rejects and openly condemns this move.

Organized by the Canada Palestine Cultural Association.

This rally is one of dozens being organized across Canada and around the world.
